Minkyu POV

Something so dumb and so small just knowing knowing any chance of us getting together never happening puts me into a slump. I ignore my phone, just going to work for a couple days to a week when I get a knock on my door.
I look through the peek hole to see a worried Chenle as he starts knocking again.

"Is everything okay?" I open the door

"Ye- wait! I'm the one who's meant to be asking you. You haven't been answering your phone" Chenle worries as he walks in

"Yeah. I've just been down lately" I stutter

"You should've told me!" Chenle states

"I didn't want to give you added stress with work" I avoid eye contact

"Well not hearing from you has given me added stress!" He gives me a half hug "I'm here now. Let's go out for food"

"You don't have to" I yawn

"Nope, I'm pampering you all day" Chenle grabs me clothes "get dressed"

Knowing I can't change his mind I go get ready. We head out to a desserts cafe and we try an array of different types of cakes. After we head to an arcade.

As we do all of this I can't help but feel an ache like pit in my stomach, knowing that I can't get rid of these feelings for my friend.

"Should we go get food then?" Chenle smiles

"Sure" I nod with a faint smile

We go to a Chinese restaurant and as we wait for the food we sit in awkward silence.

"I'm sorry I couldn't raise your spirits" Chenle sighs

"No no today was great" I sit up "I'm just tired"

"You sure?" He asks

"Of course Le" I put a happy voice on

We start eating, talking about everything I've missed and the little that Chenle has missed for our short time apart. Once finishing Chenle takes me back to my apartment.

"I have work tomorrow so I can't stay longer" Chenle says in a apologetic tone "I'm really sorry"

"Don't be! I can't wait to see NCT 2020" I smile "remember to rest well"

"You too Kyu" Chenle hugs me

I hug him back, maybe a little too long and a little too tightly.

"Hey I'll be back soon I promise" he pats my back before letting go "I'm just a text away. Never forget that"

"Yeah, sorry. Thank you Chenle" I smile sincerely

"Speak to you soon" he walks over to his car "remember to pick up the phone"

I nod, waving to him as he leaves before heading inside, flopping onto my bed.
